Time Turner

Henry shook his body to throw off Alfizar. Sadly with Alfizar holding him down tightly and painfully, Henry could not move much. But he still tried to move, unwilling to lose someone who just recently got an approval from the captain.

Suddenly a mechanical voice sounded out a countdown, the glass cage also displayed the countdown.

[3! 2! 1!] After the countdown, a short victory music was played, the glass cage raised up as Alfizar let Henry go.

[Winner: Alfizar Leonore!] Then the mechanical voice began to listed his injury, along with Henry's.

"Good match!" Aurina said while handing them towels and mineral water after they went down the arena.

Henry sighed loudly after he gulped down half of the water. "I really don't understand how you improve so much in such a short time, Alfi." Henry let out a dry laugh. Looks like Alfizar's improvement hurt Henry's pride as the older of the two.

"You fight as if you got a bunch of experience. If we didn't grow up together, I will think that you are some secret government agent in a secret mission!"

Alfizar smiled sheepishly at Henry's words.

"We are all improving, Henry." Alfizar sipped his mineral water. "Right, we got a guest today. You two need to hear what I just heard this afternoon."

Speaking of the devil, Alfizar spotted Frans who just stepped into the club through the double door. Frans scanned the room and broke into a foolish smile when his eyes landed on Alfizar and his siblings.

Alfizar waved his hand at Frans in a 'come here' gesture.

"Hey, Frans!" Henry greeted then followed by Aurina.

"Aurina, how are your injuries?" Frans looked at Aurina up and down in concern trying to spot any other injury besides the one on her lips.

"Nah, Other then my lips and my sore throat, I'm fine." Aurina offered him a smile. Frans is really a good guy.

"What are you doing here? The club's time is not yet ended." Alfizar asked Frans curiously.

"Am I not welcome? How rude of you, Alfi! I thought you already accept me as your friends!" Frans said sadly with a mock hurt expression. This is The side of Frans' that Alfizar doesn't really like.

"Don't twist my words! You know what I'm saying!" Alfizar's eyebrow twitched in irritation as he smacked Frans back. Frans quickly scooted away as he trying to reach his abused back with his hand. Frans actually pouts sadly. Though everyone knew he was only joking and didn't really pity him.

"Alright, alright." Frans raised his arms in surrendering gesture. "Because it's still club's time that I choose to leave now. Vianzo and Harloz still practicing with their gun at the club." Frans' playful face suddenly turned serious as he lowered his voice so there won't be anyone who could what he said.

Frans, Vianzo, and HArloz are all in the same club, the Shooting Club. Rachzi in the Archery club and Dioz is in this club, Combat and Defence Club.

Feeling really sure that Vi and Har were Vianzo and Harloz, Alfizar could guess why the two of them in the same club. If Harloz was still the same old Harloz who keep sticking to Vianzo, then the possibility was, Harloz following Vianzo all the way from their home country to Reapdown Country, and to the same school and club.

Actually, Alfizar still didn't know why Harloz kept following Vianzo back then. Now that Alfizar thinks about it, it actually a bit creepy.

"Where's Dioz?" Frans asked as he looked around cautiously.

The three of them ended up looking around for Dioz's presence. But they still can't see him in the area.

"Probably off looking for girls," Alfizar said absentmindedly when he didn't spot Dioz anywhere. He missed the disappointed look on Aurina's face.

"Nah, doubt that. Aurina is here after all." Frans pointed at Aurina using his chin to make his point across.

Alfizar looked at his little sister sad disappointed look. Now he feels guilty. But he still won't approve Dioz for Aurina. What can he do to separate the two?

'Oh, Aurina... Out of so many people, why that playboy?' Alfizar pushed down the urge to facepalm as he thought so.

"Hahaha, I forgot. Since he won't leaves Aurina alone, I send him to train the newbies." Henry scratched his head sheepishly.

When Alfizar insisted to make Aurina come to CDC and not attend to her own club for her safety, Dioz was so happy that he kept clinging to their group and actually try to sit beside Aurina. And before Alfizar could do anything to him, Henry beat him to it. Henry sent Dioz to work on newbies.

"Right, I also forgot." Alfizar laughed, the two didn't notice Aurina's unhappy looks at all.

"Nah, doesn't matter. We might as well go now. I don't want Dioz to come and ask why I'm coming with you all." Frans said in hurry, he also wanted to rescue Aurina from hearing her brothers laughing about Dioz. It was obvious that Aurina also has a crush on Dioz.

In the end, he still has to wait for Alfizar and Henry to change out of their Nerve Suits before they could go back to the Leonore residence.

Ten minutes later the three were walking toward Hospital building. Their destination is obviously Zio's office.

"What are you doing here? Did someone get hurt?" Zio asked in surprise when they walked into the office without knocking because a boy with his arms bandaged just walked out.

"No, but can we go back early today, father?" Alfizar asked.

"Sure, GIPEC has a lot of Doctors here. Me going back early won't be a problem. But why?" The tone is demanding, Alfizar could tell that Zio has been worrying because he decided that he want to stay and found out about Sweinzrev and Aurina's accident.

Alfizar glance at Frans beside him.

"A new lead." That sentence alone enough to make Zio pack his things and urge them to quickly go to the 'front door' of GIPEC while he goes to the bas.e.m.e.nt to get the car.

[Next Chapter's teaser:

"Did you still suspecting Vianzo?"

"just like what Aurina say, why would he hide his face if it was really him?"

"How did he sneak in a knife to GIPEC?"

"I think I know what the 'weapon' is." ]
